Titan Planet

Titan (front) and Tethys (rear)Shear Blog - Planet Mars is a planet that has been most widely discussed as a habitable planet besides Earth. Though there are other places in space that is more habitable than Mars. Dr. Dirk Schulze-Makuch of Washington State University in its publication in the journal Astrobiology stated, in a ranking that Titan, a moon of Saturn, is the most habitable celestial bodies, beating the red planet, Mars.
In Planet Life Capability Index, Titan won the highest score. Earth has index 1. While Titan is 0.64, followed by Mars (0.59), followed by Jupiter's moon Europa, which is (0.47). Two declared habitable exoplanets is Gliese 581 g (0.49) and Gliese 581d (0.43). Planet Life Capability Index was developed based on several criteria. Some of these include the presence of rocks, water, energy, organic material, and the distance of the planet from its star. Titan has the potential to have proven habitable for water and energy.
Since the Kepler Space Telescope managed to find more than 1000 candidate planets similar to Earth, habitable planet research is advancing by leaps and bounds. Telescopes in the future you can expect to detect biomarkers, such as light or chlorophyll pigments that exist in plants.
In addition to preparing Besides preparing the rating habitable planets, Schulze-Makuch also compiled Similarity Index to find out the planet Earth and the moon whose condition is most similar to Earth. The results also suggested that Mars is not the first.
Gliese 581g is the planet most like Earth, with a score of 0.89 while Gliese 581d have a score of 0.74. Mars itself has a score of 0.7 and 0.6 Mercury. The similarity index was developed with a view of Earth-size planets, density, and distance from the parent star. Gliese 581d is 581g and Gliuese planet orbiting a red dwarf star Gliese 581. Although Earth-like habitable and, reaching the second planet is somewhat difficult because it is very far away. Gliese 581g is 198 billion kilometers.
